Wessel Ebersohn

Wessel Ebersohn is an internationally published South African novelist and thriller author.
He is well known for his thrillers, written and set during the South African apartheid years, which portrayed the nature of the society and the people who drove the policy while showing the people who hated it, both those on the inside who lived with their struggles of conscience, and those on the outside who fought it with their very lives.

When Abigail Bukula, a young lawyer in the South African Justice Department, learns that the secret son of her aunt, who died in a massacre years ago, has been arrested by the Zimbabwean government, she races to his aid.

Reviews

I’ve said before that I’m not a wild fan of local crime fiction. But Wessel Ebersohn was the writer who converted me, so it’s highly appropriate that I’m reviewing his latest offering.

Reviewer

Looser and more engaging than Abigail’s debut (The October Killings, 2011, etc.), but just as committed in its anatomy of the unending legacy of apartheid.

Kirkus Reviews

Reviewer

Ebersohn excels at depicting the treacherous politics of an unstable country, one in which the search for justice is always fraught.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English.
